Her name will be...

That is right! Marianne Fisher. We have not chosen a middle name yet, but we will. I just finished her letters last night...

Our Friendly Beast

Evelyn was a friendly beast, a dove, in this year's reenactment of the birth of Jesus at the church party tonight. We'll try to post some video soon - she absolutely loved being on stage and paused for quite a long time. When we took her picture afterwards she asked, "Can I go on stage again?"

Nesting

I have been nesting! This time around it has taken the form of quilting. I used mostly scraps from my "stash," although I did buy new fabric for the baby girl quilt. Here are my projects for the past few months:

Our baby girl's quilt!

Oklahoma for Thanksgiving

We spent Thanksgiving week in Oklahoma. It was great to see everyone! We will stay in California for Christmas - too close to the baby's due date to come. Evelyn had a great time with her grandparents and cousins and was sad to say goodbye to them all.

Evelyn was so proud to hang on the monkey bars "by herself" with Papa Fisher's help.


We had a great visit with Granny and Grandpa in Tulsa too.

Evelyn loves being outside, even if she does have to trade her dress for pants and sweater.
